• Comment. The question here is whether this band is as notable as say Grimethorpe Colliery Band. If it is then it could be edited to make it respectable. I suspect it is not as notable as the Grimethorpe band, but that is very notable. It is described as being founded as the learner band for Carlton Main Frickley Colliery Band but is now independent. Perhaps it could be merged there. --Bduke 00:31, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Further comment. I have started the process of wikifing and improving the article, adding links, removing "we" and "our" and adding a category. It still needs more work, but it might be recoverable. --Bduke 00:56, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Clearly a factual article and not an advertisement. Googled the band and found they compete nationally and win prizes, as well as that they have a cd for sale on Amazon.com. The music sample on their website shows a very high standard of musicianship. They appear to be nationally competitive. (I was looking at the site for the Main Frickley etc, not the training band, so no opinion.) There is no rule that only the top couple of bands in Britain can be in WikipediaEdison 03:02, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
